Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the mid-1950s, the approach to addressing serious behavioral health disorders began to shift from institutionalizing those afflicted to making community based outpatient treatment available. By the 1960s treatment policy had shifted to this new model to promote integrating people with mental illnesses into their communities. By 1970 community support programs began to appear with an emphasis on a fully continuous system of care that would serve the comprehensive needs of the seriously mentally ill. However, integrating behavioral and physical health requires that the applicable jurisprudence evolve at the same pace, and this faces resistance. Despite state legislatures' policy decisions that persons with mental illness can live in our society as functioning individuals, our jurisprudence of tort and injury law is often an impediment to that goal. This publication will serve as an introduction to the complex questions posed by behavioral health and the law.Coverage includes:Change from institutionalization to community based outpatient system of careLegal duty owed by behavioral health providers to othersHindsight bias and its effect on behavioral health jurisprudenceCriteria for when someone can be subjected to involuntary psychiatric treatmentThe impact of patient's illness on the rules that govern treatment recordsIntegration of behavioral health with physical medical issuesIncludes behavioral health terminology, acronyms, abbreviations, and a list of governmental entities involved in behavioral healthState charts on civil commitment, duty to ward, and confidentiality of mental health records

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CORE OF MENTAL HEALTH LAW A musty file in Arizona's Greenlee County Courthouse reveals that on January 22, 1912, shortly before Arizona became a state, a 19-year-old Mexican-American woman residing in Morenci was taken into custody and placed in the county jail by a deputy sheriff who, that same day, filed with the Greenlee County Probate Court the following commit ment petition: Have known girl about one year. Last summer-July or Aug. 19- commenced to act irrational. Has been under treatment of physicians past 4 months. They called me this A.M. and told me they were unable to treat her successfully-that she is crazy and I must arrest her. The proposed patient was apparently examined the next day by two physicians, who duly completed the required medical questionnaire. In addition to mentioning that the patient's physical health was good, that she was "cleanly" in her personal habits, that she did not use liquor, tobacco, or drugs, and that neither she nor any of her relatives had ever been mentally ill or hospitalized in the past, the doctors listed the follow ing information on those portions of the form devoted to mental illness and dangerousness: Dangerousness: No threats or attempts to commit suicide or murder. Is of a very happy temperament. Has a tendency to laugh and sing. Facts indicating insanity: She wanted to dance. Most of conversation was fairly rational.

Book excerpt: Central institutions of mental health law rarely provide a clear conception of mental illness or a clear justification for the differential treatment given to those with mental illness. This book creates a bold new framework for examining the major intersections between legal institutions and the idea of mental illness. Efforts to reconcile involuntary commitment with the right to refuse treatment are reviewed, along with a compelling case for requiring, as a prerequisite to commitment, a determination of decisional incompetence.
